celtic Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has been the No. 1 since arriving at Celtic Park on a free transfer in 2024. Martin O’Neill has not been able to rely on the 39-year-old for more than a month due to injury.

The Dane’s contract at Celtic expires in June and his future remains uncertain at the club.

The main reason is that Schmeichel is injured and needs another surgery on a shoulder problem.

The stopper has hinted he could be out for up to 10 months, forcing Celtic to make changes.

O’Neill has used Viljami Sinisalo in Schmeichel’s absence while Celtic will have to look for a new stopper in the summer.

Celtic is focusing on the Australian

The Scottish Premiership club are already considering a few options, including Levante UD goalkeeper Matthew Ryan.

is according to football 24Joe covers Celtic’s interest in reports focusing mainly on Club Brugge.

Simon Mignolet has been the number 1 for the Jupiler Pro League team for years and will retire at the end of this season. This has seen Club Brugge looking for an adequate replacement.

Last weekend, sports witness Claims Covered by Belgaum Matze sells of Nottingham Forest as a top target, but this operation is not financially feasible for Club Brugge.

There are other targets too and Ryan’s name is prominent. The 34-year-old joined the La Liga team on a free transfer in August 2025 and has been their No. 1 this season.

His league statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 28
• Start: 28
• Accepted target: 45
• Clean sheets: 5
• Saves per game: 3.7

The Australia international has previously toured in England with Brighton & Hove Albion and Arsenal.

Club Brugge’s final choice will be made based on the stopper’s ‘availability, cost and playing vision’. Ryan’s experience would make him a potential choice to replace Mignolet.

However, the Belgian club will have to worry about ‘competition from Celtic’ as Martin O’Neill’s side are also keen. The next few months will be crucial in the battle for the Australian signature.

Contract, price and agent information

Matthew Ryan has less than three months left on his contract at Levante UD, who retain the option to extend it for a further year.

its value, according to transfer market€2m, and the highest was €10m in June 2019. British agency CAA is representing the stellar goalkeeper.

Celtic’s Benjamin Nygren says he did not return to Celtic Park on Wednesday after Martin O’Neill gave him the day off.

The Celtic player was part of the Sweden team that secured World Cup qualification during the March international break.

The Swede struggled in the early stages, leading to the departure of John Dahl Tomsson and the appointment of Graham Potter as his successor last October.

Potter led them to the World Cup playoffs, where Sweden faced Ukraine for the first time last week. A hat-trick from Arsenal striker Victor Gyöckeres helped them to a 3–1 win and the Celtic winger recorded an assist.

Sweden then faced Poland and Gyökeres’ goal in the 88th minute was the difference between the two countries in the end. The 24-year-old Bhoys attacker registered another assist.

O’Neill approves delayed Celtic return

Thursday edition of gothenberg post has published an interview with Celtic’s Benjamin Nygren to discuss some of the topics.

The majority of the interview centers around Sweden’s March international break and World Cup qualification.

He played the full 90 minutes against Ukraine and 81 minutes against Poland on Tuesday.

On his participation last month he said: “Of course I’m involved in it, and that’s where I want to be. It feels great. We focused a lot on set pieces and scored some goals in training with that. I thought it would be in the match as well.”

The Celtic player is happy to have made his country proud by making it to the tournament in the US.

“Magical! This is something we’ve all dreamed of. We’ve fought so hard for this, so it was magical to celebrate with everyone,” Nigren explained.

“Absolutely amazing. We are winning not just as a team, but for all of Sweden. We are taking all of Sweden to the World Cup.”

In the end, Gothenburg-Posten say he was not to return to Celtic on Wednesday. When asked if Martin O’Neill had given him a day off, he said: “Ha-ha yes!”

What’s next for nigraine?

Benjamin Nygren arrived at Celtic Park from FC Nordsjælland in June 2025 and has scored 19 goals and seven assists this season.

last month, the attacker said He dreams of playing in the top European leagues after having his ‘best season’ with Celtic.

Sweden’s qualifying for the World Cup gives it the opportunity to showcase its qualities and attract teams from top European leagues.

The Japanese Grand Prix hasn’t even started and two teams are already making news for all the wrong reasons.

Jonathan Wheatley is out of Audi. After just two races in what is regarded as a historic debut season for the German manufacturer in F1, the team principal who led the old Sauber operation through its rebrand has departed – officially for personal reasons, which is the kind of statement that invites more questions than it answers. Mattia Binotto, already serving as overall head of the Audi F1 project, has taken over team principal duties in the meantime while the team considers its next step.

Is Audi’s old boss going to be Aston Martin’s new boss?

Of course, the timing is not coincidental. Aston Martin are looking for a dedicated team principal to take the day-to-day burden off Adrian Newey, who never seemed particularly enthusiastic about the administrative side of the role and made it clear that the position was effectively a gap-filler. Wheatley and Newey go back decades – they spent several years together winning championships at Red Bull, and Wheatley’s background in race-weekend execution is exactly what Aston Martin doesn’t have right now. Whether quitting gardening leads to delays is not clear, but the dots connect very well.

For Audi, losing Wheatley is a real headache. He was the continuity between the identity of Sauber and the new works team – the institutional knowledge went out the door ten months after his arrival. Bortoletto scored points in the team’s very first race in Australia, so it’s not like the operation is going bad. But Binotto now has both jobs while they sort out a long-term structure, and that’s not ideal for anyone heading into a season when Audi is still learning what its own car really needs.

However, Aston Martin’s situation is something else entirely.

Aston Martin has enough shit

Neither Alonso nor Stroll have finished a race in 2026. Not even one. The Honda power unit was producing such severe vibrations that Newey told the media in Australia that Alonso felt he could not safely complete more than 25 consecutive laps without risking permanent nerve damage to his hands. The walk limit was even lower, at 15 laps. These are not the kind of problems you address with a change in management.

Its roots go deeper than a bad engine spec. When Honda recommitted to F1 at the end of 2022, much of its original engineering group had already moved on and Newey later admitted that he did not realize how inexperienced the reorganized Honda team really was until November last year, when rumors emerged that Honda would not be able to achieve its original power targets for race one, when he and Lawrence Stroll traveled to Tokyo. Until then, no one could do much about it.

Newey’s fingerprints are also on the timeline. Honda’s project general manager said that Newey requested a two-tier battery configuration to meet packaging requirements, which left them with time constraints. Building a Works Engine partnership from scratch under the new rules is significantly more difficult without last-minute design changes from your own technology partner.

Lawrence Stroll issued a rare public statement this week, insisting that Navy remains the core of the operation and that Aston Martin “does not currently adopt a traditional team lead role.” This made the structure appear deliberate rather than chaotic. It’s a tough sell when both of your drivers are sitting in cars that can barely finish the race.

What makes all this especially strange is the venue. Suzuka is Honda’s home race. The Japanese manufacturer will have its own people in the grandstand this weekend, watching the power unit that has made its works partner the worst team on the grid through two rounds. The rules don’t allow Honda to make meaningful development changes until after Miami in May, meaning Alonso and Stroll will head to Japan knowing that the fundamental problem won’t be fixed this weekend, no matter what happens in the management structure above them.

Two teams, two sets of problems. One of them can probably handle it. The second will require more than a new team principal.

去年八月，在古德伍德速度节（英国一年一度的大型汽车展，F1 皇室成员往往都会出席）上，里卡多·帕特雷斯 (Riccardo Patrese) 与阿德里安·纽维 (Adrian Newey) 进行了一次无法回避的对话。帕特雷斯早在 90 年代初就曾在威廉姆斯车队为纽维效力，所以当他谈论这个家伙时，它的含义与典型的专家不同。

阿德里安·纽维告诉他的不完全是秘密，但也不是什么秘密。他的新团队可能还没有准备好。不是为了争夺冠军头衔。 2026 年不会。

“我和古德伍德的阿德里安谈过，他觉得明年他们还没有准备好，”帕特雷斯说。 “可能在他心里，他希望明年就做好准备，但他不想这么说。”

他并不谦虚。他对他的老朋友很坦诚。

阿德里安·纽维和阿斯顿·马丁的挑战成为头条新闻

两周前跳到巴林，季前测试的最后一天，距离本周在墨尔本举行的澳大利亚大奖赛还有 10 天。兰斯·斯特罗尔上了车，跑了六圈。早上的前两个小时，AMR26 都没有动过，而赛道上的其他车队都在外面工作。当斯特罗尔最终推出时，进入第 4 号弯时遇到了严重的锁死，汽车在砾石中滑行，基本上就是这样。卡车满载。队伍早早就回家了。

赛季开始前最后一天测试的六圈。这就是整个故事。

罪魁祸首是本田的动力装置，特别是其内部的电池系统。在这两周的测试中，零件的烧毁速度超过了团队更换零件的速度。一位围场消息人士称，这些组件被“毁坏”。本田周五上午发表声明，应对零部件短缺问题，并在距离赛季揭幕战还有 10 天的时候承认，他们对发动机的可靠性或其整体性能不满意。第二部分是值得担心的部分。

本田动力装置问题在最糟糕的时候出现

原因如下。 2026 年规则是 F1 多年来最大的规则调整。这些新车大约有一半的总马力来自电动机，这意味着电池必须在制动时不断吸收能量，并在加速时释放能量。如果这个系统不能正常工作，你不仅不可靠，而且速度很慢，这是任何空气动力学技巧都无法解决的。

“如果他们必须在赛季中失去六个月的时间才能接近正确的发动机组，那么他们的赛季就结束了。”

里卡多·帕特雷斯

据报道，阿德里安·纽维 (Adrian Newey) 在一次 F1 委员会会议上表示，本田的装置甚至无法达到 250kW 的最低能量回收阈值，远低于使该套件具有竞争力的 350kW 数字。这不是设置问题。这是汽车上的一个基本漏洞。

帕特雷斯已经听到了这些。

“阿德里安·纽维似乎迷失了方向，”他说。 “但我认为最大的问题是本田。我读到至少有六七个月的时间，他们将无法拥有正常工作的发动机，因为他们会燃烧电池，而电池能够提供的千瓦数也不够。”

六七个月。本赛季有24场比赛。费尔南多·阿隆索 (Fernando Alonso) 44 岁了，自 2013 年以来就没有赢过。算一下。

阿斯顿·马丁已经远远落后，看不到任何缓解的迹象

原始数据让情况变得更糟。斯特罗尔和阿隆索在巴林的六天内总共跑了 334 圈，比首次参加 F1 比赛的全新美国车队凯迪拉克少了 250 圈。两位车手都没有完成比赛模拟，这基本上是车队用来了解比赛距离内轮胎磨损和燃油行为的全程练习。不是奖励练习。必做的作业。

“主要挑战是处理一些限制我们在赛道上运行的时间的可靠性问题，”首席赛道官员迈克·克拉克 (Mike Krack) 说。这可能是对整个季前赛的轻描淡写。

令人刺痛的是这支球队是为了这一刻而特意建立的。劳伦斯·斯托尔花费数年时间和巨额资金在银石赛道建造了一家新工厂，锁定本田作为独家发动机合作伙伴，最重要的是，说服纽维离开红牛，他刚刚在那里监督了维斯塔潘四连冠。计划是 2026 年重置。新规则，从头开始，纽维在绘图板上。

尽管将有 11 支车队参加 2026 年首场大奖赛，但这绝不意味着它们都会完成比赛。

“我想说，这是一场巨大的灾难，同时又完全令人惊讶，”前车手拉尔夫·舒马赫上周表示。 “在与红牛取得的成就之后，本田似乎令人难以置信。这是一个‘安全的赌注’。”

Patrese不再这么称呼它了。

“如果他们必须在赛季中失去六个月的时间才能接近正确的发动机组，那么他们的赛季就结束了，”他说。去年夏天，这位一直坚称阿斯顿·马丁拥有所有正确成分的人现在使用了“赛季结束”这句话。这种转变很重要。

佩德罗·德拉罗莎在巴林负责大部分媒体工作，而纽维却一直在人们的视线之外。他说：“我们并不高兴。但可以说没有人担心，这也是事实。这是不同的。”

或许。但 F1 澳大利亚大奖赛将于本周举行，该车的银行中没有比赛模拟卡，而且发动机供应商公开表示缺乏零件和答案。

帕特雷斯在八月份告诉我们，这将为阿斯顿·马丁带来。他只是不知道自己的想法有多正确。
